“The approval of the new lending product is a proof that SPENN plays a vital role in the Rwandan economy, providing users with access to affordable credit, as well as serves as a powerful tool for the bank to reach a user mass they never before could reach. SPENN Lending is an innovative, fully digital system that allows users to receive the payout of a loan within seconds” says Jens Glaso, CEO of Blockbonds AS.
To access credit, users need to be registered with SPENN and have either savings in their savings account or receive their salary to SPENN. Blockbonds has also built a unique credit scoring model that will ensure proper management of the lending product. The lending product will increase the long-term value for the SPENN customers and become a driver to the amount of funds in SPENN which is one of Blockbonds revenue drivers. SPENN Lending is a unique product built for the bank partners of Blockbonds and is based on a revenue sharing model. The bank is fully responsible for the credit risk. Blockbonds targets to roll out SPENN Lending in all operational markets.
SPENN is a platform for the unbanked as well as the banked to be able to send and receive money completely cost free, in markets where cost of financial services is the highest in the World. SPENN is disrupting the existing mobile payment distribution channels.
